Is De Bruyne the best PL Midfielder ever?

I saw someone say that De Bruyne is easily the best pl midfielder of all time and that its not even close. Do you think that's correct? He's won 5 PL titles and apparently he has 102 assists in 241 games, which seems crazy good. Just this season alone he has 18 which must be a record or close to it at least.

I thought that the only midfielders that come close are Lampard and Gerrard but these are the stats:
De Bruyne, 241 games, 64 goals, 102 assists
Lampard, 609 games, 177 goals, 102 assists
Gerrard, 504 games, 120 goals, 92 assists
So De Bruyne honestly shiiiits all over those two in terms of assists and even in terms of goalscoring he's better than Gerrard and not that much worse than Lampard who took penalties too which De Bruyne doesn't.

So do you think De Bruyne is the GOAT PL midfielder?

It was just a joke bro, I've literally said in this article that my top 3 PL CMs of all time are De Bruyne, Lampard and Gerrard

No seriously I would say he's in the Gerrard, Scholes and Lampard bracket...

Is he better than those three?? Maybe, but what does go against is that Scholes was a proven seasoned winner well into old age, and Gerrard/Lampard both had some crazy stats for close to a decade...

Difficult one!

It’s difficult to class any achievement made by players or managers at City for my money. At the moment there’s a raft load of charges hanging over them, so you could argue that it’s like trying to say Lance Armstrong is the best cyclist of all time until the matter is resolved.

Depends how long he stays in the epl.

2, or more, seasons at the level of effectiveness he has demonstrated, and continues to demonstrate, then he is certainly on a par with the epl midfield-area greats. If not THE greatest.

He's certainly MCFC's greatest.

Imagine Lampard and Gerrard in Pep's team. KDB is a midfield great but let's not pretend he hasn't been at the best team in the country since he joined, managed by the best current manager in the world.

He’s been way better than Scholes who has the same advantages
